a competition: because i'm not original

hey! competitions have been picking up a ton lately and i'd love to see what you guys can do.

so the theme is that it should be set in the 1800s!
extra points if it's lowercase, lgbtqi+, romantic, or ~suggestive~ lmao
it can be prose or poetry :)

i'll be choosing two winners, maybe three if i just can't choose, and i'll follow them, give them credit on this account, and write an in-depth review of their piece.

contest goes until next friday, so september seventh! i won't include anything submitted after 11:59 PM thursday.
from 500-2000 words. have fun, and if you're planning on participating or have any questions, let me know in the comments below!

once you write your piece, put #elisahasacontest somewhere in the title!
